Executive Summary | Wave forecast information is fundamental of the safety operation of working vessels for port construction. There are two distinct methods for wave forecasting. One is a numerical medel of wind and wave interaction. The other is an empirical model based on a statistical relationship between the weather and the wave data obtained in the past. The latter method utilizes simple regression equations or relationships and does not need sophisticated knowledge in the process of practical computation. However, because of the lack of continuous field wave data, detailed study on latter method has been difficult, and only few reports have been presented. |
